Some attorneys get lost in the analysis of minutia that they lose sight of the heart of the matter, common business sense, and the most efficient resolution of an issue. Stephen realizes that there are many ways to solve a problem; he finds that creative solutions often provide the most efficient and beneficial result for the client.

He is licensed to practice in Minnesota and Texas.

The best part of my job is helping clients solve issues. They may believe their dispute or problem is unworkable, but often they just need someone to further analyze the issues. I’m that someone. I come up with a well-thought-out strategy that provides them with their best options.

- Stephen M. Ringquist
